Your local Scumbag Radio DJ lives in a magical land where deep cuts don't exist, an "all request" hour is suspiciously similar to the regular predetermined Clear Channel line-up, and "commercial-free" actually means "we'll do live reads and repeat our call letters and slogan between each song." It's a land where radio DJs still obnoxiously talk over the beginning and end of the song to impede those of us holding a tape recorder up to the speaker to steal the song (because that totally still happens post-Napster).

The Scumbag Radio DJ buys "jokes" off Prepburger and thinks cheesy sound effects will punch up their long-winded anecdotes about shopping. The Scumbag Radio DJ thinks every band has only two songs and "Call Me Maybe" should be played every other hour. You probably hate the Scumbag Radio DJ, and so do we.

A meme appeared on Quickmeme last month to catalog our many complaints about this insufferable staple of an obsolete format. Our favorite image macros about the Scumbag Radio DJ are collected below. Thanks to Quickmeme for the assist.

I was a Scumbag Radio DJ for years and we hate the same songs over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and, you get the picture, as much as you. In my day it wasn’t “Call Me Maybe” but “Hotel California”. The Scumbag Radio DJ does what they do to keep their job, you see, stations that try to offer some variety get creamed in the ratings. If you want variety listen to stations that offer it.
